Abstract
Display assemblies are provided. One or more electronic display subassemblies are mounted to a framework at an elevated position. An unobstructed zone is located below each of the electronic display subassemblies and within the framework. Electronic components are provided within a base portion of the framework. A panel may extend above each of the electronic display subassemblies and within the framework.
Claims13
A display unit comprising:
- a larger framework including a base;
- an electronic display provided within a housing attached to the larger framework such that the electronic display is mounted at an elevated position within said larger framework spaced apart from a lower surface of the larger framework;
- a smaller framework located below said electronic display, said smaller framework forming at least a partial open through space beneath said electronic display and within said larger framework;
- one or more electronic components for operating the electronic display located within the base;
- wiring extending from the one or more electronic components to the electronic display;
- one or more additional components for operating the display unit connected to said wiring;
- an airflow pathway extending through at least a portion of said housing, wherein said one or more additional components comprise at least one fan located along the airflow pathway;
- and
- a panel comprising frit glass and a static image, where said panel is located above the electronic display and within the larger framework.
6 more elements
A display unit comprising:
- a framework including a base portion;
- an electronic display mounted to said framework at an elevated position within said framework;
- an open area beneath the electronic display and within the framework, said open area enabling slight lines from one side of the framework having an image viewing face of the electronic display thereon, through and to an opposing side of the framework;
- one or more electronic components for operating the electronic display located within the base portion;
- one or more junction boxes located within the base portion and housing the one or more electronic components, wherein at least one of the one or more junction boxes accept wiring from an outside power supply and electrically connect the wiring from the outside power supply, directly or indirectly, with wiring extending from the one or more junction boxes to the electronic display;
- a panel extending in a space between an upper surface of the electronic display and interior surfaces of the framework above the electronic display, said panel comprising a static graphic;
- and
- one or more lighting elements positioned below the panel to illuminate the panel by upward directed lighting when activated.
5 more elements
A display unit comprising:
- a framework including a substantially waterproof base portion, said framework defining a closed circuit defining an interior space;
- an electronic display subassembly comprising a housing, an electronic display layer, a backlight for the electronic display layer, and at least one airflow pathway, wherein said housing is connected to said framework such that said electronic display subassembly is secured at an elevated position within said framework;
- an unobstructed zone defined, at least in part, by a lower surface of said electronic display subassembly and interior surfaces of said framework located below said electronic display subassembly, said unobstructed zone occupying at least one eighth of the interior space defined by the framework;
- one or more electronic components for operating the display unit, where at least one of said one or more electronic components is located within the base portion, and wherein said one or more electronic components comprise at least one power module, at least one video player, and at least one fan positioned along the at least one airflow pathway
- an additional m age panel secured to said framework, above the electronic display and comprising a static graphic;
- and
- light emitting diodes oriented in an upward facing direction toward said additional sage panel to illuminate the static graphic when activated.
